What kind of team could they put around Aron Rodgers if they trade Stafford and Rodger’s comes to play for vet minimum just to try to win another ring and say fuck off?

Not everyone disagrees with you; and some posters just enjoy "What If" discussions.

I think a high majority of ROD posters want Stafford back, and hope the Rams and Stafford work things out.

I beileve things will be worked-out, unless Stafford's demands are truly unreasonable.

In the case of Kupp, you will see several posts from me that express surprise about the Rams' decision to move-on now. My opinion is mostly based on the salary cap. Kupp is a huge cap hit in 2025 (almost $30M). However, regardless of whether the Rams trade him or release him, a majority of that amount will STILL hit their cap. I would rather they move-on next off-season when the cap savings are significant and the Dead-$ is much lower.

How much of them moving Kupp is that Kupp was upset (not like diva upset) that he was no longer the 1st option in the passing game (this was reported) and Rams see him only as option 3 (Charles Robinson implied that Kupp dropped to 3rd option behind Robinson by end of year and I would not be surprised if he wasn't the 3rd read on many passing concepts by the end of the season).

Rams may see Kupp's decline as going beyond the injuries to a general decline in speed and change of direction skills. They may want to get more playing time to Whitt and will not have Kupp near the beginning of play progressions going forward while Kupp may feel he has more to give so perhaps they're just getting out now with a little pain to get something back for him and allow him to try to find a spot where he sees himself as more of a focal point in the offense?

Also, Jourdan implied that Rams see a combo of Whitt and Puka looking like the usage of Kupp and Puka in 2023 (which was different than last year) which suggests that Puka may split time between F and Z next year doing some of Kupp's role while Whitt may take on some of Puka's role that year (backfield action, screen game stuff).

I am actually really intrigued by how they pair Whitt and Puka next year and where they align in 11 personnel.

They could include Adams in that scenario and put together something extraordinary, however, if Stafford goes I believe the plan is James Richard Garoppolo, not Aaron Charles Rodgers.

I don't see any super bowl window without a QB. This draft is shit and the free agents are meh.

Definitely need a franchise QB to be in a SB window. Stafford's individual window requires year-to-year re-evaluation. If his arm wears down (or he has any major injury) its over for him.

The strength of the last two drafts could create a SB window through 2030+. We'd need a franchise QB on a rookie contract to make that happen. With enough draft capital, we could find one in 2026.

I watched that interview and I disagree with your take as well.

That's fine by me as I obviously disagree with yours lol. That's how these things work. I hope I'm wrong by the way. My preference is to keep Stafford but if not, I hope we take the best haul we can get in a trade.
